The pattern is from Interweave Knits, and can be seen and/or purchased here. I used a soft, yummy baby yarn called Baby Boutique from Plymouth Yarns. It's machine washable (always a plus for baby gear) and was great to work with.
It's a fun pattern, but definitely kept me on my toes. I knit up a few swatches until I was comfortable with the dragon skin pattern repeat and that was a big help. I also consulted the web more than once - there is an error in the original pattern that needed to be corrected and a few techniques were new to me. The decrease on the front edges was tricky and certainly requires undivided attention! There was a lot of counting and a lot of adjusting in order to keep the pattern intact while getting the detailing accomplished. The end product is worth it - and I hope that the little lady likes it! Her mommy looks beautiful in bright colors like this - and I know that baby O will be just as much of a stunner. Like-mother-like-daughter!
Love you NMO!! Can't wait for the littlest schmicky!

I love you so much ASWAN. Your photos don't even do this sweater justice. I haven't stopped looking at it or touching it since it arrived. Poppy is going to wear it every day that it fits her cute little body. You'll get hundreds of photos of her in it. Thank you so much, I love you love you love you!
